Furumiya Kofun

The Kyoshuzuka Tumulus features a rectangular stone chamber constructed with four large stones, each measuring 2 meters in height and 1.8 meters in width.

Built during the late sixth or early seventh century, this burial structure served as a final resting place for regional nobility and clan leaders.

The burial chamber's positioning on elevated terrain suggests careful architectural planning to overlook the valley, reflecting the social status of its occupant.

Located beside the Chokushi Kaido Road leading to Usa Jingu Shrine, the site remains accessible throughout the year without entry restrictions.

Research indicates the mound originally measured 15 meters in diameter, though natural erosion has reduced it to reveal the stone burial chamber beneath.
